For the prices charged on the peak tourist seasons of Algarve the hostel is a rip off. 1. No AC during hot summers, charged nearly 50 Euros for a bed per night. 2. Just 2 fans for 4 people in a suffocating room. Feels like a heat chamber. 3. The showers doesn't even have a handwashing gel, I mean, it costs like 3 Euros per washroom. I was just spending more time outside so that I do not have to return. I am glad my 2 days stay is over.

Staff is extremely arrogant and rude (Bald guy w glasses.) They don’t have any staff to answer the door and when there is someone they watching you and complaining about having to open the door every time you go in & out. I know it’s cheap but if you want to be disrespected everyday and have no privacy in the rooms because there aren’t curtains. Do it but honestly spend an extra euro and go to somewhere you are valued. I would not recommend at all. 0/10

They were very kind and helpful, and upgraded me to a single private room without my request. They provided great resources to enjoy Faro as well. The young Argentinian lady who checked who me in was also sweet and beautiful, which doesn’t hurt. Thank you, Faro Albacor!
